Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Completes Portal Beams Over Vadodara Railway Lines
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project has completed construction of all 14 portal beams over the Delhi-Mumbai Rajdhani railway line in Vadodara, Gujarat. These large structural supports enable the elevated viaduct to cross five existing railway lines, including two main lines. The portal beams, each weighing around 1,500 tonnes, were cast on-site due to space and engineering constraints. With this milestone achieved, the project will proceed to install 40-metre composite girders to advance the elevated corridor through this complex, operational railway section.
